Pianos
I went piano hunting today. I have a friend that owns a piano store and is also a composer whose music I really like, so every so often we get together and shoot the breeze and go over our music. I brought a couple of my preludes in today and he liked them, and surprisingly liked one of them more than the other when it would have bet money it would be the opposite. We also talked about pianos and I fell in love with a gorgeous cherry 6'4" grand piano and I would really like to buy it.The problem is that I am in an apartment right now and buying the piano would exhaust some of the money I was trying to save for a down payment on a house.
I'm much more excited to buy a piano than a house, but...
ugh. I've been stuck in this space for too many months. I think it's time to find a mortgage person and find out how I can organize my money to be able to buy both. Will mortgage companies loan you money for more than the appraised value of the house? Hell, they let you roll in credit card debt. Why not?
